US Supercross Lites West Series: 5th round Anaheim, CA

In Offroad

05 febbraio 2008

MDK KTM Lites Team rider Billy Laninovich started the evening out well when he got a mid-pack start in Lites Heat #1 but was able to work his way into the 6th place qualifying position.
His teammate, Justin Brayton, lined the gate for Heat #2. Although Brayton has been under the weather with a head cold for the past three weeks, you wouldn't have known based on his heat race performance. He brought his KTM up into the top three picking up third place and a direct transfer to the main.

All American KTM MX Fire and Police rider, Ryan Beat, placed 3rd in the Last Chance Qualifier to transfer into his first main event on his new KTM 250SX-F machine.

The gate dropped for the Lites main event and Laninovich and his KTM were in the top five. Brayton wasn't as fortunate and started mid-pack. Throughout the 15 lap main Laninovich held a top five spot staying ahead of the pack. Brayton continued to charge forward and had moved into 7th by the end of the race. Laninovich earned his best finish of the season when he came across the finish line in 4th just one spot shy of the podium.
